Discriminatory Expression and Hate Speech

The Snoqualmie School District is committed to ensuring a safe, welcoming, and bias-free space where every student feels a sense of belonging and is treated with dignity and respect. We strive to create a school community where every student feels safe, respected, and valued, regardless of race, ability, religion, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, language, political beliefs, or socioeconomic status.

Our community includes individuals with diverse backgrounds, identities, and experiences. We do not tolerate hate speech, harassment, bullying, or discrimination in any form. A safe, inclusive environment is essential for student well-being and academic success.

To support these expectations, students receive age-appropriate instruction on respectful behavior, identity, and reporting processes.

Student Expectations

Students are expected to:

  • Use respectful, inclusive language in person and online.
  • Treat others with dignity, even when differences exist.
  • Be mindful of the impact of their words and actions.
  • Take responsibility for their behavior.

Reporting Concerns

Every member of the Snoqualmie Valley School District has a shared responsibility of maintaining a positive school environment. Students are expected to speak up and/or report behavior they witness in person or online that harms others or disrupts inclusion in one or more of the following ways:

  • Speaking up in a safe and appropriate way when witnessing harm if comfortable.
  • Telling a teacher, staff member, or trusted adult.
  • Submitting an anonymous report through the district’s tip line (include details such as names, time, and location).

Behavior Definitions and Responses to student offenses related to speech, actions or writing about race, ability, religion, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, language, political beliefs, or socioeconomic status.

Approach to Discipline

  • Keeping students engaged in learning whenever possible

  • Using discipline to teach and restore rather than punish
